En Tus Manos (film)

En Tus Manos is a short narrative film by Toy Gun Films released to DVD on January 1, 2010. Written by Oscar Torres Voces inocentes, directed by Ron Jacobs, and produced by Oscar Torres, Brent Ryan Green and Jeff Goldberg, who are copresidents of Toy Gun Films, and also featuring Thomas Marvel as the cinematographer, the film was inspired by a collection of true stories surrounding the issue of violence directed at religious leaders throughout Colombia.

Carlos, played by Santiago Diaz, is a young man who lives in a violent neighborhood of Bogot where many of the local pastors are being shot and killed. The neighborhood is becoming more fearful of the notoriously vicious local gang who is killing the pastors. At home, Carlos faces constant family abuse, but finds his escape in the love of his youth, Zuvely, played by Paulina Gaitn Sin Nombre and Voces inocentes. However, in an attempt to defend himself from the hostility that has engulfed his home life, Carlos decides to join the gang. As a part of his initiation into the gang, Carlos is ordered to murder the local pastor considered to be a threat to their reign over their neighborhood. This coldblooded task pushed Carlos into the depths of despair as he searches for the courage to finally take his destiny into his own hands.
